Fifteen years ago the senior author (Johnson) analyzed the welfare effects of the flue-cured tobacco program as it then was operating. The somewhat surprising conclusion of that study was that the program's social cost was essentially zero. The fact that the United States faced a less-than-perfectly elastic foreign demand function produced gains to offset the usual "welfare triangle" loss and the rather large efficiency loss from restricting an input (land) rather than output. At that time the author made several long-run predictions: (a) the elasticity of foreign demand would increase as foreign output increased; (b) institutional rigidities that fostered the U.S. monopoly position would erode; (c) inefficiency losses would increase. All of these would put financial and political pressure on the support}, number={1}, journal={AMERICAN JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS}, author={JOHNSON, PR and NORTON, DT}, year={1983}, pages={117–119} } @article{johnson_grennes_thursby_1979, title={Trade models with differentiated products.

In order to quantify our analytical insights into these problems, we need empirical estimates of a host of basic relationships. Data problems and identification problems plague the international trade researcher. These problems are well known and are not pursued here. Their presence, however, has led to the adoption of some useful devices to reduce the empirical burden and to utilize existing estimates of various parameters. One such device is the subject of this note.}, number={4}, journal={AMERICAN JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS}, author={JOHNSON, PR}, year={1977}, pages={735–736} }
